The lenses of a particular set of binoculars have a coating with index of refraction n= 1.38, and the glass itself has n = 1.52.
Part A
If the lenses reflect a wavelength of 545 nm the most strongly, what is the minimum thickness of the coating?
The formula to apply in this case, where the index of refraction of the bottom surface below the coating(glass) is greater than the index of refraction above the surface of the coating (air), is...
2nt = mλ. This is for constructive interference of 545 nm as given in the problem
(2)(1.38)(t) = (1)(545 X 10-9)
t = 1.97 X 10-7 m
This answer can aslo be stated in different ways, they are .197 μm or 197 nm. All three answers are the same using different metric prefixes.

Sometimes a nonreflective coating is applied to a lens, such as a camera lens. The coating has an index of refraction between the index of air and the index of the lens. The coating cancels the reflections of one particular wavelength of the incident light. Usually, it cancels green-yellow light (λ 546.0 nm) in the middle of the visible spectrum. (a) Assuming the light is incident perpendicular to the lens surface, what is the minimum thickness of the coating in...
I dont understand thin film interference. Thanks in

A thin coating of Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2) is deposited on the surface of some eyeglasses which have an index of refraction of 1.6. The MgF2 has an index of refraction of 1.38. (a) What is the minimum thickness of the coating so that green light of wavelength 500 nm has minimal reflectance (i.e. maximum transmission for anti-reflective coating)? (b) What is the minimum thickness of the coating so that green light of wavelength 500 nm has maximum reflectance?

Light is incident on a lens with a thin coating. The light first travels through the thin coating, and then the lens. The thin coating has an index of refraction of n = 1.3, and the lens has an index of refraction of n=1.6. What is the minimum thickness of this coating that will destructively reflect light of wavelength 500 nm?
